Turkmenistan Turkmenistan History and Structure
Islam came to the Turkmen primarily through the activities of Sufi (see Glossary) shaykhs rather than through the mosque and the "high" written tradition of sedentary culture. These shaykhs were holy men critical in the process of reconciling Islamic beliefs with pre-Islamic belief systems; they often were adopted as "patron saints" of particular clans or tribal groups, thereby becoming their "founders." Reformulation of communal identity around such figures accounts for one of the highly localized developments of Islamic practice in Turkmenistan.

Make it known on the Discussion Forum Like the other Central Asian republics, Turkmenistan underwent the intrusion and rule of several foreign powers before falling under first Russian and then Soviet control in the modern era.

History and Government
History: The territory of what is now Turkmenistan provided the base for many of the most powerful empires of their age. The Parthians, the Seljuks and the Khans of Khoresm all based their empires at various points on the edge of the Kara-Kum desert. Modern-day Turkmen are descended from tribes that migrated to the area in the 10th century. From the 15th century the area was under Persian domination until the Russian move into Central Asia at the end of the 19th century. Turkmenistan fell into the British sphere of influence, but the Bolsheviks took control of the region in 1920 and incorporated Turkmenistan as a union republic in 1925.
Turkmenistan's ability to embrace the reforms made possible by glasnost and independence have been hampered by its backward economy and, as a result, it retains more of the trappings of the old system than other post-Soviet republics. There have, however, been significant changes, such as the introduction of a new currency, and the framework for further economic change has been put in place. By contrast, politics have changed little since the Soviet era. The current President is Saparmurad Niyazov, who has been given the honorific title Turkmenbashi - leader of all Turkmen. He was elected President in 1992, having been Chairman of the Supreme Soviet since 1990, standing as the sole candidate. In a referendum in 1994 he was confirmed as President.

Turkmenistan History and Structure Islam came to the Turkmen primarily through the activities of Sufi (see Glossary) shaykhs rather than through the mosque and the "high" written tradition of sedentary culture. These shaykhs were holy men critical in the process of reconciling Islamic beliefs with pre-Islamic belief systems; they often were adopted as "patron saints" of particular clans or tribal groups, thereby becoming their "founders." Reformulation of communal identity around such figures accounts for one of the highly localized developments of Islamic practice in Turkmenistan. Integrated within the Turkmen tribal structure is the "holy" tribe called övlat . Ethnographers consider the övlat, of which six are active, as a revitalized form of the ancestor cult injected with Sufism. According to their genealogies, each tribe descends from the Prophet Muhammad through one of the Four Caliphs. Because of their belief in the sacred origin and spiritual powers of the övlat representatives, Turkmen accord these tribes a special, holy status. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the

Merv, along with Baghdad, Cairo and Damascus, was for eight hundred years one of the most important capitals of Islam. Indeed, without Merv, Baghdad, the Abbasid capital and cradle of their revolution of 750 A.D., might well never have been founded. Merv's greatest period of glory was probably the eleventh-twelfth centuries, when it was the principal Eastern capital of the great Seljuk Empire. This stretched from beyond the Oxus to the eastern shores of the Mediterranean. Although badly damaged in the Mongol invasion of 1218 A.D., Merv was restored and its prosperity re-established under the descendants of Tamerlane in the early fifteenth century. Merv's position as the principal city of a great oasis on the major trade route from Khurasan to Transoxiana - a route known today as the 'Great Silk Road' - has long guaranteed its wealth, and the oasis still supports a population of a million. It is surrounded by the Kara Kum desert and is watered by the Murghab river, supplemented in recent times by the Kara Kum canal. Just how rich and prosperous this fertile oasis is and was can be readily proven by the size of the modern and ancient cities. The principal city today, and the largest in Turkmenistan after the capital of Ashgabat, is Mary, located 30 km. to the west of the earlier centres, while Seljuk Merv occupied an area of some 640 hectares.

    60. A Brief Outline To The Archaeological Pre-History Of Turkmenistan

    http://www.weavingartmuseum.org/ex3_prehist.htm
    Part I The history of the Turkmen responsible for the weavings illustrated in this catalog has never been easy to understand. Most references to their origins are based on the same hypothesis that begins with the migration of nomads from southern Siberia who brought with them the art of cut-pile weaving. While it is true that the oldest known knotted-pile weaving has been found in this general area, the following text will show that the prehistoric occupation of south-west Turkestan by indigenous groups of inhabitants must be considered before conceding that the much later migration of Siberian nomad groups was the only source for the Turkmen lifestyle and weaving tradition. The long and indigenous cultural history of Turkmenistan, which began well before migrations of mounted nomads from the northern steppe during the eighth century BC, should become quite obvious after reading the The tenacious quality of culture and tradition to remain fixed to geographical location is another factor that should not be forgotten in considering the history of the Turkmen. The societal changes that began in this area during the sixth millennium BC established important cultural fundamentals that were able to remain unchanged in the face of great social unrest and pressure. These intrinsic patterns in settlement location, architectural techniques, agricultural methods, animal husbandry and design traditions have survived virtually unchanged for thousands of years. They provide the real history of the Turkmen.
